Once the equipment is installed to form the brewing
"system", you can begin to produce fresh, craft beers. Here are the steps of the
brewing process as the ingredients flow through the system:

1

MILL

A high-quality, adjustable, two-roll mill crushes the barley to the desired coarseness
to form Grist.

2

COMBI VESSEL

Actually two tanks in one: In the top unit, called the Mash/Lauter Vessel, Grist and
hot water are mixed to produce Mash. From this, a clear substance called Wort is
extracted. The bottom unit of the Combi Vessel holds the additional hot water (liquor)
needed for brewing and clean-up.

3

MANIFOLD

During the brewing process, Wort, hot and cold water must move easily through the
brewhouse. The Manifold is a nine-valve control station which allows all liquid to
transfer in a safe, sanitary manner. This eliminates liquid spillage and contamination,
which may occur when connecting or disconnecting hoses and clamps, or using swing arm
panels.

4

BREW KETTLE

Here the Wort is brought to a boil and mixed with Hops, which adds bitterness and
aroma to the mixture. Depending on customer preference, the Brew Kettle can be directly
gas-fired or steam heated. It may be clad in stainless steel and copper, or furnished with
the classic onion-shaped dome.

5

PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

Using tap water, chilled water, glycol or a combination of the three, this compact
unit efficiently cools Wort before it's transferred to the Fermenter. The Exchanger also
returns excess hot water to the Hot Water (liquor) Tank for use in the next brew.

6

FERMENTERS

Here Yeast is added to Wort to create the distinctive composition and flavor of beer.
Our special design allows for Fermentation, Aging, Carbonation and Lagering all in one
tank, if desired. Fermenters are individually temperature controlled. (ASME Code Approved
Optional)

7

FILTER

At this stage, Yeast is removed from the mixture, leaving brilliantly clear beer. A
plate-and-frame or horizontal diatomaceous filter is employed to recover every last drop
of beer to minimize potential waste. A pad filter may also be used to sterilize and filter
the product for packaging.

SERVING VESSELS

These units receive and hold the filtered beer for direct service to the bar. Or they
may be used as holding tanks for packaging the product. (ASME Code Approved Optional)
